15 October - 13 December, 2018Mongolian National Art Gallery

A wide-ranging retrospective of Imre Makovecz, founder and eternal honorary president of MMA is opening in the Mongolian National Art Gallery. The title of the display is "To Connect the Skies With the Earth", because Makovecz maintained that the real adventure of architecture is to connect the skies with the earth. His works, plans, drawings and models as well as documentaries, photos and documents of the renowned architect will be displayed at the 3rd floor of the MNAG until 13 December 2018.​From the exhibition one can get to know the organic principles set up by Makovecz in his unique architecture. According to these a building should fit in the natural environment and should be humanlike, that is, as he explained, "I always pay attention to the structure of the face, that's way my buildings resemble the faces, heads and sculls of humans. I have named my buildings seeing houses probably after a painting by Chagall." The buildings of Makovecz have eyes, eyebrows, noses, because for him a house was a being.
